I finally figured out how to store station presets in VLC. (This makes
it much more useful to me and the listeners to the streaming radio
station I am affiliated with.)<br>
<br>
Here is the section I just added to the VLC Windows Wiki at <a
href="http://wiki.videolan.org/Windows">http://wiki.videolan.org/Windows</a>.
(I don't know if this applies to any other platforms.)<br>
<br>
<span class="Apple-style-span"
style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span
class="Apple-style-span"
style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">
<h2
style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(170, 170, 170); margin: 0px 0px 0.6em; color: black; background-image: none; font-weight: normal; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0.17em; font-size: 19px;"><span
class="mw-headline">How to store streaming station presets</span></h2>
<p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">To use VLC as a
streaming client, store your station presets under the Media Library on
the Playlist panel (not the bookmarks and not the actual playlist).</p>
<ol
style="margin: 0.3em 0px 0px 3.2em; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; list-style-image: none;">
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Open the playlist panel (Ctrl-L or
click on the Playlist button).</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Click on the Plus button at the
bottom of the panel. (A dropdown menu will appear.)</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Select "Advanced Open" from the
dropdown menu. (A new panel, named Open Media, will appear.)</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Select the "Networking" tab on the
Open Media panel.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Enter the full URL of the streaming
station in the Address field. e.g.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a
href="http://mystation.org:8000/mystream.ogg" class="external free"
title="http://mystation.org:8000/mystream.ogg" rel="nofollow"
style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(51, 102, 187); background-image: url(http://wiki.videolan.org/skins/monobook/external.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; padding-right: 13px; background-position: 100% 50%;">http://mystation.org:8000/mystream.ogg</a></li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Click the Enqueue button at the
bottom of the panel.</li>
</ol>
</span></span><br>
Hope this helps.<br>
